I don't understand. Are there people who need a mouse on the go but refuse to carry one?

ETA: Also there are already small mouse this size (and smaller) anyway.

It is better, there are people who refuse to carry a mouse, so Logitech came up with a mouse for them to never carry

I prefer Microsoft Arc mouse as it has replaceable battery and flattens itself instead of folding so i throw it into laptop sleeve with the device itself. Both look fragile though, especially considering the price.

[–] Renorc@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Agree. MS arc works great after a little time getting used to it. I much prefer the flat shape for packing.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, came here to mention it just looks like a worse version of the arc.

Logitech’s foldable mouse is for people who have too much money for an ergonomivql nightmare.

There I fixed the title.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It only seems marginally smaller than a small mouse? huh.

What is the point of creating a foldable mouse for people who don't want to carry one? What is the exact business model here?

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 0 points 2 weeks ago

They sell it to people that wants to carry a mouse so people like me don't have to buy it, duh

These look about as ergonomic as Apple's Magic Mouse... I feel like I'd rather have one of those, and they're terrible but at least they don't have a hinge that will wear out.

I guess if I really need to bring a mouse, I'll just bring a real mouse and a avoid the hand cramps.
